Re: Amare Stoudamire is a STUD

Dick Bavetta is always on a mission. pistons win game 1 against the heat. Dick Bavetta is reffing game two because the Miami can't go down 0-2.

DICK BAVETTA IS AN OLD PR$CK WHO CAN'T REF IF HIS SENILE LIFE DEPENDED ON IT. I HATE THAT OLD A$$ HOL$. I remember that 6th game agaisnt the Knicks at MSG in the lockout shortened season. His mission that night was to make sure the series ended in MSG and did not go back to Conseco for a seventh game.

Danny and Jerry Crawford are my two favourite refs.

Thank God Bavetta's not reffing Game 5 in Miami. I'm not sure the Pistons will get a fair whistle regardless, but it helps that Bavetta won't be reffing the game.

Re: Amare Stoudamire is a STUD

Amare was getting calls all night and the last game. He pushed Ginobilli down on a screen and pushed Duncan down after a made basket. Not to mention the 2 charges he didn't get called against him in the 4th quarter last game. I guess he really has joined the fabled "superstar treatment" club. I like how hard he plays though. With a little more seasoning and a half court offense the Suns could be more dangerous next year.

Not to be a nitpick, but in the lockout shortened 1999 season, the Pacers were playing in their last season at Market Square Arena, not Conseco.

Re: Amare Stoudamire is a STUD

Amare is unbelievable offensively, how he always seems to get to the rim is amazing. He always has those surprising dunks, the ones that make you say "he didn't just do that, did he ?" but he keeps doing it.

If he ever learns how to play a little bit of defense he'll be unreal. He shot blocking is pretty good, but his overall defense is horrid.

I'm sure he'll become a better defender in time. The scary part is that he'll only be 25 this season.

Re: Amare Stoudamire is a STUD

Amare's never going to be a good defensive player so long as he plays center. He's fast, but he doesn't have the lower-body strength to match up against most true post players. He's a natural power forward, not a center.

It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.
